Chapter 1290: Chapter 1283: Miscarriage (13) Chapter 1290: Chapter 1283: Miscarriage (13) Even though it had been more than five years, Lu Weixi and Qin Zhiyou could still vividly remember that it was a rainy day.

After several cold fronts, the temperature had plummeted from around ten degrees to just above freezing, constantly fluctuating.

Inside the Qin Family home, the atmosphere had also been consistently dropping.

On one hand, Qin Zhiyou not only presented evidence at the company that caused Qin Weijian and Qin Weijia to lose their positions, but after forcefully dragging them down, he himself was not flustered but composedly pulled together a team. Although he didn’t have enough reach overseas yet, at the Hanhai Headquarters, he had essentially seized most of the power. Other shareholders who were dissatisfied with his siblings were also persuaded by Qin Zhiyou; this time they all rallied around him, powerless to recover.

On the other hand, Lu Weixi was pregnant and barely left the house except to study. The old master didn’t interfere in the company’s affairs, letting the younger generation cause a commotion about Qin Weijian’s ousting without saying a word. He had always implemented a laissez-faire policy, where whoever was capable, Hanhai was theirs. There was no strict adherence to a primogeniture succession at Qin Family!

However, he was exceptionally concerned about the child in Lu Weixi’s belly. Qin family’s other branches couldn’t catch Qin Zhiyou, so they vented their anger on Lu Weixi. Of course, most of these harsh words, whether overt or covert, were spoken behind the old master’s back, but he might not be unaware of them.

The internal strife of the Qin family had a long history, with his children on one side and his daughter-in-law on the other; unless it escalated to blatant confrontation, he preferred not to intervene. However, at dinner every night, he showed his care for Lu Weixi and his expectations for this child, who wasn’t even born yet, preparing many fine things for his great-grandson.

There were some things he couldn’t openly say, so he could only use this method to tell the other branches, “It’s your own lack of ability that cost you, don’t blame others for taking it!” Even if it wasn’t Qin Zhiyou who took it, given the pace of the other branches, Hanhai Group would eventually decline.

Qin Zhiyou, although ruthless, was certainly not foolish. Apart from manipulating situations, he didn’t touch the truly useful departments for Hanhai like technology, design, and other core competitive departments. Professional matters required professional people to handle. This was also why the old Mr. Qin allowed him to test the waters at Hanhai. Unfortunately, the other branches didn’t understand this principle.

His only concern was his eldest grandson’s unsettled nature. Although it seemed that he quite liked Lu Weixi, his past involvement with many women was undeniable. Now that his wife was pregnant, he seemed inclined in that direction again.

But as for matters between spouses, he was even less inclined to intervene, opting instead to turn a blind eye.

That day, Lu Weixi didn’t go to school or stay at the Qin residence, but returned to the Lu Family home.

Lu’s mother had been diagnosed with cancer, which was still in stage two. After Lu Weixi married Qin Zhiyou, her mother had stayed in the hospital for a while but had just been discharged.

Although she was also unhappy with her daughter’s marriage to Qin Zhiyou, what was done was done, and they already had a child. Lu Weixi took her mother home, trying not to act too somber. On their way, mother and daughter chatted and laughed but carefully avoided any discussions about Qin Zhiyou.

Lu’s mother sensed something was off, but it wasn’t appropriate to ask until both were getting ready to go to a nearby restaurant, where, unexpectedly, they saw Qin Zhiyou.
